Verse 1:
  G                    Cadd9
I filled my car up    to the roof.
 G                   Dsus4
Said no more snow for me.
 G                    Cadd9
Headed Southbound    then turned east
 Dsus4                        G
Where the pine trees meet the sea.

Verse 2:
 G                         Cadd9
Carolina blue    now I know its true.
 G                    Dsus4
I explored the wooded trails.
 G                 Cadd9
Saw copperhead an' gators
 G                Cadd9
Large birds, then later
 Dsus4               G
The ocean called my soul.


Verse 3:
 G                    Cadd9
I crossed a bridge, around the ridge,
 G                Dsus4
that opened up my view.
 G                        Cadd9
The earth's horizon    a man made island
 Dsus4             G
the beach awaited me.
 G                   Cadd9
A jetty near it, a kindred spirit
 Dsus4           G
the lady by the sea.


Chorus 1:
 G            Cadd9
A lady by the sea,
 G                             Dsus4
where the marsh does    gently flow.
 G                     Cadd9
From the Intracoastal Waterway
 Dsus4                  G
to Bird Island we would go.
 G                            Cadd9
Your food was plenty    with flavors many.
 G                 Dsus4
All coming from the heart
 G                        Cadd9
You showed warm care    Your love was there
 Dsus4               G
I felt it from the start.


Verse 4:
 G                       Cadd9
The Lord said we're all equal,
 G                        Dsus4
But she just might make a stand.
 G               Cadd9
Holding onto to elegance,
 Dsus4                 G
When washers miss the can.


Verse 5:
 G                          Cadd9
Hushpuppies fried    green tomatoes tried.
 G                       Dsus4
That bug won't    get us down.
 G                   Cadd9
A movie night, with strings of light
 Dsus4                      G
Clear skies with    stars abound.


Chorus 2:
 G           Cadd9
A lady by the sea,
 G                              Dsus4
where the marsh does    gently flow.
 G                         Cadd9
From the Intracoastal    Bird Island tide low
 Dsus4                    G
Let's see where this will go.
 G                             Cadd9
Your food was plenty    with flavors many.
 G                  Dsus4
All coming from the heart
 G                             Cadd9
The moonlight grows    though sometimes slow,
 Dsus4           G
another piece of art.


Verse 6:
 G                 Cadd9
Sitting on    the sandy shoreline,
 G                      Dsus4
we all would    have a share.
 G              Cadd9
Doing what we wanted to,
 Dsus4              G
the ocean doesn't care.


Verse 7:
 G                Cadd9
From Calabash to Sunset Beach,
 G               Dsus4
the coast is our retreat.
 G                 Cadd9
So here we are, in Cac-a-lackie,
 Dsus4               G
where life is oh so sweet.


Chorus 3:
 G            Cadd9
A lady by the sea,
 G                             Dsus4
where the marsh does    gently flow.
 G                     Cadd9
From the Intracoastal Waterway
 Dsus4                  G
to Bird Island we would go.
 G                            Cadd9
Your food was plenty    with flavors many.
 G                  Dsus4
All coming from the heart
 G                            Cadd9
You showed warm care    Your love was there
 Dsus4              G
I felt it from the start.


Verse 8:
 G              Cadd9
How to spend an evening,
 G                   Dsus4
with no more time for me.
 G              Cadd9
I was here, and you were there
 Dsus4          G
we drifted far apart.


Outro:
 G              Cadd9
In this coastal paradise,
 G                      Dsus4
where life goes slow and free.
 G                               Cadd9
Our time's still divided    no longer united
 Dsus4               G
With the lady by the sea.
      Dsus4           G
Yes, the lady by the sea.
  Dsus4          Cadd9
So I      really miss
 Dsus4          G
the lady by the sea.
